XI.-HONORS.

LIST of Members and ex-Members of the Legislative Houses of New South Wales who have attained Honors.

NOTE. Some ex-Members of the Legislature who have attained distinctions after leaving this Colony may possibly be overlooked in the foregoing list. Many colonists and ex-colonists who have not been in any legislative body in this Colony have received Honors, Imperial and Foreign; of these no list is given, as it would be very difficult to trace out their history.

The title of "Honorable" is applied to the President of the Legislative Council, the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, the Members of the Executive Council (ie., the Government), and the Members of the Legislative Council (who hold their seats for life, subject to the provisions of the Law and the Rules of the House). Ex-Members of the Executive Council may be permitted by Her Majesty to permanently retain the title of "Honorable" after they have been in office a certain time, namely,—a Premier, one year; a Minister of the Crown, three years.
